State and Diplomacy in Early Modern Japan: Asia in the Development of the Tokugawa Bakufu
Contrary to traditional views of early modem Japan (1600-1868) as a classic case of "isolationism," this book demonstrates that the rulers of Tokugawa Japan conducted a vigorous and far-sighted foreign policy with their Asian neighbors and shows how that foreign policy both reflected and affected domestic affairs. For this paperback edition, the author has prepared a new Preface.
A Stanford University Press classic.
